The tagliatelle was perfectly blended with pesto and sundried tomatoes- with the parmesan on top, it tasted delicious! The pizza was also top notch and I wished we tried the meat variations. Maybe next time!They also have a very large collection of wine that you can pair with your food that I’m surely going to try next time I’m there. However, for this time, we tried their Shirley temple that was also very well done.

I ordered the mushroom arugula salad and my friend chose a different salad. Both were delicious, but we found them to be quite small. We both agreed that next time we should also order some bread or soup to go with our salads. However, we were both craving salads. The service was excellent, and the restaurant had a nice quiet atmosphere, which we loved. We just wish the salads had been more substantial.

The food was mediocre and overpriced. We were seated in the basement, causing our food to arrive cold. The appetizers were hit or miss, with the calamari being the standout dish. The mains were average, with some dishes lacking flavor. Dessert was the highlight of the meal. The ambiance of the restaurant was lovely, with a private dining area downstairs. The server, Lindsey, was excellent. While I may not return, if you don't mind paying a premium for mediocre food, give it a try.

The food was perfectly timed, and the meal was excellent, as always. We celebrated my husband's birthday, and the staff surprised us with a delightful dessert.

We are three people looking forward to a nice and welcoming Valentine’s dinner in our new neighborhood since we recently arrived in Canada. The restaurant was fully-booked. We completely understand the part that we should have a reservation, however, it is also not uncommon for walk-in customers. We were ready to pay for the service like everybody else. If he had said that we can no longer be accommodated, we would have left just like in the first restaurant (Stock Bar) we went to. So this big man gives us a table suited for two customers and adds another chair which was located in the basement in what he said as “dungeon dragons”. We sat down but we noticed that it was next to a pathway where staff and customers kept bumping on our chairs, so we politely requested that we could be transferred to another table if one becomes available. After a few minutes, a lady staff informed us that she had found a table. The table we were transferred to was at the end of the room by the wall where you had to squeeze in to sit down, so since it was uncomfortable, the displeasure in our faces naturally-showed. We were talking to the lady staff and voicing out (in a calm way) our honest opinion on the table we were in but we were also ready to accept it. Then suddenly out of nowhere Mr. VERY RUDE, ILL-MANNERED BIG MAN, came forward to us and started YELLING at us and saying why were we not happy after he gave us a table. We were completely taken by surprise since this is the first time we encountered an establishment whose business is to provide good food and service to its customers. Prior to transferring to the other table, we were told that the chef will only accept full orders (i.e. no appetizers first). With this type of service, we came to a conclusion that this restaurant was only FOR EARNING MONEY for its business and FORSAKING GOODWILL TO CUSTOMERS. So we made a decision to leave, not because of the table we were in, but after that incident with Mr. VERY RUDE, ILL-MANNERED BIG MAN. As we exited the restaurant, we saw him by the door, and we said “never again” and he said “hope not”. And then there was more….while we were OUTSIDE the restaurant contemplating on where to go, Mr. VERY RUDE, ILL-MANNERED BIG MAN came out in a confrontational and harassing way (YELLING AT US AGAIN). We looked at him and at the same time pitied this restaurant for having this person as we walked away.

The staff were all so polite accommodating The food was outstanding the gnocchi was delicious When we ordered dessert, the waiter put a sparkler in her cake sang happy birthday to her. Very sweet. We can’t wait to go back ! Meal type: Dinner Price per person: CA$40–50 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Vegetarian options: There’s vegetarian pasta dishes salads
